Monday night Today was my first day as a city salesman for the firm, and I must say 1 am glad the boss sent me out with the man whose place 1 am taking, instead of just sending me out alone, to bezin with, because now 1 have been intreduced to all the customers in my territory and it won't be quite as hard as if I didn't know them, and every little helps, as I can see it is not going to be any cinch selling things to retailers who act as if they never intended to buy anything again. We made the rounds and were through early, and 1 went back to office and called Joan. Hilda answered the phone and said Joan had not been feeling well all day and So 1 stopped at the doctor’s office and told him all about it, and he came home with me and told Joan she could not travel all DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Comfort for Mother of Five Children Who Must Go Without Pretty Things—How Can Step- mother Deal With Younger Generation? Can you tell me what has beome of the good old days when it was considered an honor to bring up a family? 1am the mother of five small children and wherever I go I um made the butt of all sorts of jokes on account of my Mrge family. It is true that T am shabby and look old for my age because 1 cannot afford fine clothes. My husband earns only a small salary and the largest part of it goes to keep our little ones clothed and housed and fed. 1 haven't the heart to take the money from my babies to indulge myself in the things my friends have. . Of course, T would like to have the pretty things that other women have, and sometimes I wonder if I don't deserve something from Iife besides drugery. What do you think? MRS. CHARLES L. EAR MISS DIX Of course, you deserve something from life besides drudgery, Mrs. ("ha I..-and you will get it. Never fear. For as we sow we reap, and you will get a reward out of the love and affection of your children that will bring you far more lasting happiness than any of the silly little pleasures that your friends are enjoying now. : I am not minimizing the sacrifices that a poor mother has to make for her children. The woman who has many babies and whe eannot afford to hire nurses and nursery governesses to take care of them, who must even count the cost of their food and their clothes, goes through years of absolute martyrdom while her children are little. She knows what it is to force herself to her task when she is sick and worn and tired to the last point of exhaustion. She knows what it is not only to tofl all day, but to be up half the night covering restless sleepers, giving water to thirsty little lips, listening for croupy coughs; she knows what is is to rally the last ounce of her strength to answer the never-failing ery of m-o-t-h-er. She knows what it is to wear shabby clothes that Mary may have a new cloak and Johnny a new sweater; she knows what it is to eat the back of the chicken and feed the children the white meat. No greater heroines exist than poor mothers, and if we paid them the honor that they deserve we would stand uncovered as they go trundling the perambulators with their bahies in one end, and the packages from the corner Rrocery in the other end, and with little toddlers clinging with sticky fingers to their shabby skirts, These are the women who are the bulwark of the Nation, and who are giving to it good citizens. In these baby carriages the future millionaires and great singers and writers and architeets and inventors are being pushed about the streets. For it is not the children whose mothers could give them high-priced attendants who generally achieve things. It's the children of mothers who gave of themselves. So don’t be too sorry for vourself, poor Mrs. Charles I.. You are having a hard time of it now: nobody will dispute that. But it doesn’t take children long to grow up, and who knows what swan may he among vour ducklings? Perhaps a genfus that will set the world aflame. Anyway, surely, if you bring them up properly, you will make of them good men and women who will be an honor to vou. You will be rich in their love, in the interest that they will bring into your own life, and in their care for vou they will repay you a thousandfold for all you have done for them. Look about you and see how desolate are the old women who have no daughters to cherish them in their age. Of course, you have to do without pretty clothes now, but wouldn't you rather have a baby's arms around your neck than a string of beads or even an ermine scarf? Doesn't the love of your children warm your heart more than a sable coat would? And wouldn’t you rather hear your little ones prattle around vour knee.in the evening than go to the movies? For everything that we get in life we have to pay. But whatever woman pays for motherhood she gets value received. DOROTHY DIX © e e e EAR MISS DIX: T have two stepchildren who are half-grown. When they were little, they loved and obeved me, but for the last two years I have not been able to do anything with them. Their father encourages them in their headstrongness and doesn’t want me to correct them. What shall 1 do? Shall I leave the children alone? And how in the world ean any woman live with children, and let them do whatever they want to do? AN UNHAPPY STEPMOTHER. Answer: My dear lady, every other mother in the country, own miother or stepmother, is facing exactly the same problem that you are. And nobody knows what to do about it. Everywhere there are half-grown youngsters that have revolted against parental authority and thrown off all restraints and set themselves up as arbiters of their own destinies. They are too big to spank, even if spanking did any good. And they are eure that they are wiser than their fathers and mothers, so there is no arguing with them. All that their parents can do Is to handle the situation as WINTER BY D. C. PEATTIE. Freesias. This week is freesia week—not offi- clally, but actually. is the season when more freeslas bloom than | at any other time, because the florists bring their plants just to the blooming point by Christmas time, and soon thereafter freesias reach their height. And if anybody knows a lovely odor, he should tell us about it. To me, at least, there is no Parisian perfume so exquisite; T know having more patric flower that so fits ing room, that goes so perfectly with and crystal and fine old wood. is the vine of old houses, so esias are the flowers of the well appointed interior. Freesias come to us from that land of beautiful plants of the iris family South Africa. There are three parts of the world that abound in those three sister families of surpassing grace—the lily, iris and amaryllis families—and these three regions, the Mediterranean lands, South Africa and the arid coasts of Chile, all have something in common—sunny, mild Winters, warm, moist Springs, and hot, dry Summers. These conditions seem to be perfect for the type of plant called geophilous by botanis plants shooting up from bulbs or rhizomes or tubers, blooming swiftly and close to the earth, and then dying swiftly away. Our houses ‘supply the mild climate, and the front window and the watering pot give the plant its_artificial Springtime. Though freesias belong to the Tris family, they have, in the last quarter century, during which they have become popular flowers, been bred far ‘away from the original type of | the wild flower. Formerly, the corol- | las were irregular and blotched; the hest strains have now practically regu- | lar flowers, with pure white or only a beauty spot or two of yellow or orange. An exception must be made of certain splendid new hybrids, which go in for shorter, broader flow- ers and bright gold or orange petals.

THE HOW—THE WHEN—THE WHY BY ANNE “. . . 'tis as esay to be right as to be wrong—and o ene's glory." A reader has asked about the time period of mourning and how one goes about the gradual laying aside of the more marked indications of retire- ment following bereavement. This is a question that is much debated, as mourning is so very inti- mate a detail of one's life that the condtions surrounding people who mourn are widely varied. Custom has, however, handed down to us indica- tions of the nice thing to do and the nice way to do it, and we have come to look upon these indications as cor- rectness in the matter. Two years is the usual period of mourning in the case of loss of a husband. The veil is frequently laid aside at the end of the first year and white frocks of the very simplest order are often adopted the second Summer. Other than in the hot weather, that makes black an un- comfortable garment to wear, black is continued at least for street use dur- ing the second year. The things that go with the mourning costume must continue likewise to receive attention, for especially during the periol of so- called “coming out” do these things matter. Our shoes must still be dull black rather than patent leather and our gloves must never be white kid nor white kid with black trimming. Trimming of any sort does not go with the period just after deep mourning any more than it goes with the period immediately following bereavement. Laying aside black must be done very simply, and while there is black, or black and white in combination, there must be no lace, no jewelry, no shiny material, no picture hats and no flar- ing bows by way of adornment. This reader has asked, too, about the propriety of going about among friends—when it may be considered all right so to do and when she may feel free of criticism again to mingle with people in a social way. When these friends are close ones, it is quite all right, as far as criticism is concerned, to mingle with them as (Copyright. 1927.) goon as one feels up to it. To some DOROTHY DIX. ARDEN. it helps through the hard time to be with people: to others, having people around makes self-control more diffi- cult. This is one of the questions that must he adapted to the individual. Beyond the circle of immediate friends the woman wearing severe black is | not permitted to go in a social way | without fncurring considerable criti- | cism. Naturally people feel that if her grief is sufficient to require the retirement of mourning garb, it should prevent her from seeking the Joys of public entertainment. Dances, musical comedy plays, large recep- tions, evening bridge parties and social calls are all more or less strick- en from the list of the woman in mourning. Among her close friends she may move, going to concerts, to lectures, to tea where only three or four are gathered together, or to in- formal, one-table evenings of bridge. ‘When the vell is laid aside, and a black hat becomes a necessity in place of the honnet, it should not be a large one, a glossy one, or one selected because it represents the peak of fashion. We must be noted only in that we are incpnspicuoul if (we would be correct in mourning. And no longer do we go from black to mauve, and gray, and lavender. When we lay aside mourning we return to the colors that were our habit, to the things that are becoming and suit- able to our age. The break will have been a gradual one, as white will have relieved the black for some time, but when colors come again, let the break be definite. We then set aside the external sign of sorrow, and return with definite effort to confront the workaday world. Colors do not mean that we have ceased within to mourn a loss. They merely mark the end of the external retirement. While in black, let it be black, and in keeping, but at the end of it all, let the change be complete and final. Questions on_the Bow.
